  • think lineage is probably the one, although that one doesn’t seem completely de-googled? I see some people talking about a version that is but something about signature spoofing and thats a security problem…

    I’m not sure tbh, I’m not using Lineage myself. I tried it on a VM once and there was Google stuff all over it, so I asked online and Lineage users told me it was a weird VM image and their phones were degoogled.

    I don’t want to do graphene because it just seems hypocritical to buy a google phone when I’m trying to stop giving google money and my data.

    Uff, I almost already thought I were the only one thinking this way xD It’s my issue with Graphene, too, and I wish FP would make a phone in collaboration with Graphene so I could have both lol

    I think my only hang up there is the lack of a wireless charger. I can get past that but I have a number of wireless chargers in my house and cars that I do enjoy. Weird that it doesn’t have it

    I can see wireless charging can be a nice commodity, but FP gives a reason, it’s not weird and it’s the same reason I personally stay away from wireless charging phones in general: it’s an utter waste of energy. Wireless charging needs around 50% more power compared to regular USB-C-charging and for a company that’s focused on reducing waste and being sustainable where possible, I guess it’s an easy way.














  • Edit: It looks like this study is just self-reporting on how people feel about different breeds?

    It is, but the statement I cited is not a conclusion of this study but a reason why the study was conducted. The study itself wants to learn how strong the bias is that leads to these stereotypes, because one of the issues of gathering data is bias. Basically, people buy certain breeds expecting a certain behavior and then train these breeds to express said behavior, which makes it difficult to examine whether said behavior is due to the nature or nurtured or how big a role either plays.




  • “Nature vs nurture” is an old debate that has not yet been concluded and data is hard to obtain. But it seems at the moment that how you training and upbringing has more impact on how an animal develops.

    Also, i was more speaking ofphysical traits like a flat back for shepards or stubby noses for pugs etc. Generally, “purebred” pets are far more prone to develop detrimental traits and illnesses, i don’t see it worth the risk and more like torture than anything else.



  • Most people I know adopt from rescue shelters and all the vegans I know do that, often even focusing on pets that are somewhat “disadvantaged” regarding getting adopted, i.e. disabled or chronically ill animals. They go to an animal shelter not primarily with the wish of having a pet but providing a better life for an animal (because let’s face it, even the best-intentioned shelters are understaffed and underfunded).
